Abstract

This article aims to analyze the constraints related to the low level of formalization of rural rights in Côte d'Ivoire. To achieve this objective, field surveys were conducted in the localities of Aniassué and Ettienkro, two villages in the Sub-prefecture of Aniassué in the Department of Abengourou. The choice of these localities is motivated by the multiplication of land security programs through land certification at work in these villages. The methodology used is a judicious combination of both quantitative and qualitative approaches on the principle of an interactive approach. The quantitative approach made it possible to collect quantifiable and measurable data from a questionnaire on a population group composed of 94 rights holders. As for the qualitative approach, it made it possible to collect nominal data from the use of the tools of the Accelerated Method of Participatory Research including interviews, observation, the Venn diagram, the problem tree and the solution tree. The results obtained put into perspective the demotivation of local actors and members of Village Land Management Committees (CVGF), the insufficient training of these actors, slowness in the recruitment of expert firms, administrative burdens in the validation of land certificates as well as the non-representativeness of state and private land structures involved in land certification.
